Apache is being a bitch. Options

[Mikeplyts]

So, I'm designing a website right now for a client. I put the website under a sub-directory under my own site with a sub-domain (for testing and all that jazz). Originally, it didn't have an .htaccess file so I uploaded it myself. I tried rewriting the URL by removing the trailing slash at the end of a URL with a directory (i.e. - replacing "http://test.domain.com/directory/" with "http://test.domain.com/directory"). So, after I uploaded the .htaccess file, this is what I used:

CODE

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^test.domain.com$ [NS]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

This worked, kind of. When I tried going to "http://test.domain.com/directory/", it took me to "http://%{http_host}/directory" which, of course, the browser didn't recognize.

So, I tried editing it again:

CODE

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(test.)?domain.com$ [NS]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

Same issue.

I tried again:

CODE

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(test.)?domain.com$ [NS]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ http://test.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

Same problem.

I tried once more:

CODE

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^test.domain.com$ [NS]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ http://test.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

Na-da.

Finally, I just deleted the .htaccess file. And guess what? The rewrite rule was still doin' its thing, somehow. I tried using PHP to get my desired effect:

CODE

<?php
if (substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], -1) == '/') {
     $uri = rtrim($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/');
     header('Location: ' . $uri);
}
?>

No dice. Apache was still rewriting the URL somehow without the .htaccess file.

So, I tried re-uploading the .htaccess file and this time, I used:

CODE

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteRule (.*) $1\.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ /$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

Nothing changed. Apache still rewrote the URL as "http://%{http_host}/directory".

Mind explaining what went wrong and/or how I can fix it? Thanks

By the way, "http://test.domain.com" doesn't exist, it's just a filler for y'all to understand what I'm gettin' at.

Never mind, it seems like it was a problem with my web host.

This can be closed.
